Abstract (en)

An embroidery frame 100 is provided with a lower holding member 110 on which a sewing workpiece is placed and with an upper holding member 106 that presses from above on the sewing workpiece placed on the lower holding member 110. The embroidery frame 100 is also provided with a first adjustment portion 108 that adjusts a distance between the lower holding member 110 and the upper holding member 106 in a state in which the upper holding member 106 is pressing from above on the sewing workpiece placed on the lower holding member 110. Operating the first adjustment portion 108 to adjust the distance between the lower holding member 110 and the upper holding member 106 as desired makes it possible for the embroidery frame 100 to hold a sewing workpiece with a non-uniform thickness more reliably than it is held in a known embroidery frame.
